#OnThisDay Oct 8 1926: The Heights Theatre opens on Central Avenue NE in Columbia Heights, MN. Built by brewery heir Arthur Gluek as a real estate venture during Prohibition, the small Beaux Arts theater was designed by famous Minneapolis architects Liebenberg & Kaplan.

@tmbg.bsky.social Dear Messrs. Giants, I've been a fan for 35 of my 41 years. Thank you for visiting the Twin Cities so often. I made it to three shows this year, including a box seat at the Fitz. I was very impressed by the jazz rendition of "O, Do Not Forsake Me". Thank you for always innovating.

Different flavor of Con Crash this year. No depression, just physical exhaustion and angry bones.

I can tell it's been a good #DragonCon2026, my voice has dropped an octave and a half from pure vocal fatigue.

This is only partly correct. In fact, David Beckham get sent back in time to the medieval Philippines to end religious prosecution *and kill Godzilla,* and in doing so falls in love with St. George’s daughter, St. George Junior. The Jawas from Star Wars are also key players, except they’re hot.

My costume for #CVG2026 really came together this year. I couldn't wear it around for very long, because it was quite difficult to hear and see, but I hope to fix some of those problems before the next convention.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Would you like your figgin* toasted? Or placed upon a spike? * A figgin is defined in the Dictionary of Eye-Watering Words as ‘a small short-crust pasty containing raisins’.
